Coral Springs Center for the Arts

Believe it or not, Coral Springs Center for the Arts was once an old gym. But after a 1996 renovation installed a 1,471-seat theatre and deflated every ghost-inhabited basketball, the venue became the culturally rich institution it is today. Every year, approximately 200,00 patrons migrate to its riverside confines for a packed schedule of Broadway shows, comedians, jazz luminaries, and pop stars. In addition to its performing arts, the Center’s Coral Springs Museum of Arts showcases both a permanent collection and traveling exhibits.
